Correct. R 2.10.0, released in October, switched the documentation parser
implementation (from an external one written in Perl to an internal one
written in R). At the same time some definitions were tightened. For 'normal'
R packages (eg on CRAN) this was transitioned with warnings first that later
turned to errors. Ie not unlike what we do with Lintian.
Hope this helps. I would be glad to take a look at the Rd file in question if
someone could email it my way.
Cheers, Dirk (aka the R maintainer, with thanks to Thomas Weber for waving a
cluebat my way so that I'd notice this thread)
